Chapter 12 He is fierce, but gentle
Tanjiro trembled and knelt down to the ground, even his head pressed on Xuenian: "Please, please don't kill Nezuko."
"I can't lose anything anymore. My family, brother, and my mother, brother, and sister... are all dead in the hands of the ghost."
"Now I am the only one left of Nezuko. Please don't take her away from me. I have nothing to lose anymore. Nezuko is everything to me..."
Seeing Tanjiro kneeling on the ground, trembling and tears all over, Tomooka Yoshiyuki's plain face gradually became dark and became ferocious.
"Why do you kneel down and why do you ask for forgiveness?"
"Don't beg for mercy like a weak person."
"Why did you protect your sister in your arms before? What you did should be to pick up your axe and chop it at me, rather than betting on others' kindness and compassion."
"I just now, but I can kill you and your sister!"
"Don't you want to turn your sister into a human being? Ghosts may have a way. If you beg for mercy from ghosts, they will give you the way?"
"No, the ghost will not help you, nor will I."
After saying that, Tomooka Yoshio ignored Tanjiro's confused and painful eyes and stabbed the Hibiro knife into Nezuko's heart, making Nezuko scream in pain, but she couldn't struggle.
He sighed in his heart, Tomooka Yoshiyuki saw the once weak self in Tanjiro.
At that time, he was like a elder brother, always protecting himself behind his back.
However, because of his weakness, incompetence and cowardice.
In order to protect himself and everyone, the rabbit died at the hands of the ghost...
Don’t cry or despair. This is not what you should do now. If your family dies, your brother may become a ghost and run away, and your sister will become a ghost. You must be in pain.
I understand all this.
If I could come one day earlier, your family might be saved, and you wouldn't have to be in such pain.
But what has happened cannot be changed anymore, and time cannot be reversed.
What you need now is to become stronger and make yourself stronger, rather than using your current appearance to hope for others' compassion.
Be angry, get angry, let anger become your motivation, move, change your weak behavior, and attack me in your own way.
Let me see how far you can do it.
Yoshio Tomooka's face was gloomy, and the Japanese sword in his hand wanted to stab him again.
His appearance is cold like a thousand-year-old iceberg, but his heart is gentle like water...
Seeing Nezuko's painful struggle and realizing that the pleading was useless, Tanjiro suddenly stood up. He reached out and threw a stone at Tomooka Yoshiyuki.
Yoshiyuki Tomooka did not stab Nezuko again, but instead waved the hilt of the knife and knocked the stone away.
At this time, Tanjiro had already picked up the axe beside him and ran into the shadow of the thick blue shirt. He walked around the blue shirt rooted in the mountain and approached Yoshio Tomooka Yoshio.
Then he swung the axe and rushed straight towards Yoshiaki Tomooka.
Seeing this scene, Tomooka Yoshio was extremely disappointed. He sternly said: "Silly, can you hit the enemy with emotion?"
"You can be angry, but you must also keep thinking rationally."
He was a little disappointed that he was not strong enough. How could he defeat ghosts with emotion?
Tanjiro threw a stone over again and rushed towards Tomooka Yoshiyuki when Tomooka Yoshiyuki blocked.
Yoshiyuki Tomooka raised his Hiroshi sword with a gloomy face. When Tanjiro leaned forward to chop Yoshiyuki Tomooka, he cried under the hilt of the knife and slammed Tanjiro on the back and directly knocked Tanjiro to the ground.
The huge force made Tanjiro fall down facing the snow. His body was exhausted for a long time, and his heart was in a state of shock and torture. Now he fainted directly.
"Hmm? Where is the axe?"
At this time, Tomooka Yoshiyuki felt something was wrong and he did not find the axe in Tanjiro's hands.
At this time, Tomooka Yoshio's heart tightened and then turned his head slightly.
An axe slashed into the tree beside Yoshio Tomooka's head from the air, shaking some snow.
In an instant, Tomooka Yoshio understands the causes and consequences.
When Tanjiro stepped into the shadow of the blue shirt, he threw the axe at Tomooka Yoshiyuki, and threw out the stone to attract his attention.
When he rushed over, he deliberately posed for axe swing. His just now had his hands covered by his body, which deceived Tomooka Yoshiyuki and he was holding the axe.
"Do you want to give this axe a chance to defeat me after being knocked down?"
“Very good, really good.”
Tanjiro's previous actions were what Tomooka Yoshio hoped to see.
Brave is not reckless, courage requires wisdom.
Nezuko, who was captured by Yoshio Tomooka, had anger in her eyes after seeing Tanjiro being knocked down to the ground and fainted.
Her body suddenly became a little bigger and her strength became stronger.
In the ignorance of Tomooka Yoshioka, he broke free from Tomooka Yoshioka's control and kicked Tomooka Yoshioka with one kick.
Yoshio Tomooka blocked it with his blade and was kicked back several meters by a huge force.
"No, that child is in danger."
After kicking Yoshiyuki Tomooka away, Nezuko stretched out her sharp claws straight towards Tanjiro on the ground, Yoshiyuki Tomooka took his legs and prepared to stop him.
But he suddenly stopped in a daze.
Because Nezuko did not move further, she stood in front of Tanjiro, her sharp nails flashed with cold light, and she let out a threatening low growl at Tomooka Yoshiyuki.
"Ghost, are you protecting humans?"
There are many examples of relatives becoming ghosts. Tomooka Yoshio has seen many examples of relatives becoming ghosts. Some people once asked him not to hurt ghosts who become relatives like Tanjiro today.
Yoshiyuki Tomooka couldn't bear it, and then agreed to the plea, but the man was swallowed by a ghost transformed by his relatives...
Hungry ghosts don't care whether you are a relative or not. They will only devour all humans around them, anyone.
The girl in front of me was stabbed by me just now and was cured with strength, and she would also consume her physical strength when she became a ghost. Now she must be so hungry that she wants to go crazy.
But even so, the ghost girl resisted hunger and firmly now in front of her brother, wanting to protect him from his own harm.
This is the first time Tomooka Yoshiaki has seen such a thing.
It turns out that ghosts can really stay rational in the face of hunger and bloody food?
Nezuko had a ferocious look, spread her fangs and stretched out her sharp claws to rush towards Yoshiyuki Tomooka. Yoshiyuki Tomooka did not use the Hibirok knife, but simply cut Nezuko's neck with a simple hand knife and knocked him out.
When Nezuko was in a coma, Tomooka Yoshiyuki tied a green bamboo tube into her mouth to prevent her from suddenly hurting people.
After waiting quietly for a while, Tanjiro woke up and saw Nezuko who was breathing beside him. His heart that had been hanging around him finally let go.
At this time, Tomooka Yoshiyuki was leaning against a tree, and he told Tanjiro.
"Do you want me to let your sister go?"
Tanjiro was stunned for a moment, then struggled to sit up and said in surprise: "I think Nezuko will definitely not eat people, please let her go."
Yoshiyuki Tomooka left the tree he leaned against. He slowly approached Tanjiro, then looked down at him and said seriously: "Then I need your guarantee. When your sister can't control herself and become a cannibal demon, you must kill her with your own hands and then commit suicide and apologize."
Tanjiro was silent for a while, and then solemnly promised: "If one day Nezuko ate someone, I will kill her with my own hands and use my life to apologize to the murdered."
"Nezuko has been so kind since she was a child. She definitely doesn't want to hurt others, and she definitely doesn't want to become a cannibal..."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Yoshiaki Tomooka whispered.
"Your sister, she just protected you."
"Do you want to turn her into a human, and to gain the power to fight ghosts?"
"Go to the foot of Sagiro Mountain and find someone named Lintaki Zuoji and take him as his teacher."
"Just say that Tomooka Yoshiyuki asked you to go, he will accept you and teach you how to kill ghosts."
"Oh, by the way, don't let your sister bask in the sun. If the ghost encounters the sun, they will die. Take her away while the sun has not yet come out."
After a while of conversation, Tanjiro carried Nezuko on his back and embarked on the road to Nagiri Mountain, and also embarked on the road to become a powerful ghost...
"Is Yoshiyuki Tomooka? You are so gentle, but you have to pretend to be cruel and ruthless. I will remember it firmly..."
At this time, Tanjiro had already understood Tomooka Yoshie's good intentions and couldn't help but feel grateful.
